WATCH: Max Verstappen's rise in F1

London - Max Verstappen’s rise has been unprecedented. After just one - extremely successful - season in single-seaters, Red Bull shocked the Formula 1 paddock by placing him with Toro Rosso for 2015.

Never has one so young, and so inexperienced, lined up along the F1 grid says F1.com

Full name Max Emilian Verstappen, he was born in Hasselt, in the east of Belgium, on September 30, 1997.

His father Jos drove for seven F1 teams over a seven-year period in the sport and now his son is driving for Red Bull.
